I too saw that on my CBC feed, and the numbers make me wonder a bit - I think they reflect the fact that Flic Film is a producer/packager of some products, a distributor of some products, and a retailer.
The story is clearly written by someone who lacks some knowledge - for example there are references that confuse film cameras and film - but the enthusiasm and energy and customer uptake is heartening.
I just wish I could talk to them about some of their product descriptions!
Beau Photo in Vancouver carries a few of their products on their shelves.
Just think, if they're confusing film you don't think they confuse every other subject?
'Oh, I don't know much about fly fishing. I'm sure their article on it is factual and on point'
Meanwhile, some fly fisherman 'What the heck is this gibberish?'
It is what happens sometimes when you send a business reporter to report on something outside of their business focused knowledge base. And of course it sometimes gets compounded when an editor gets their hands on it.
But there are a few things that Flic Film have in their materials that make me think that it wouldn't be crazy to think that misunderstanding might be mutual! The description of their version of Hypo Clearing Agent comes to mind.
Looks like most of the colour film is respooled Kodak Vision and the B&W is Double X. At least they say what it is.
I think "flic" is a play on words, as a movie at the cinema is sometimes called a flick.

Orwo NC is being rolled/confectioned in Canada?
Using terms like "Nostalgia" to describe film photography is a way to pigeon-hole a complex situation into a meme for the mentally lazy.
Flic-Firm is a dealer who does bulk loading of various films in A small Town in Alberta. into snap together Plastic cassettes. I don't know how much "toll-Loading" they do for other companies.Orwo NC is being rolled/confectioned in Canada? I thought everything was done in Germany.
Undoubtedly, it's just 2000 ft spools of the film being loaded into cassettes. Anyone can buy 2000 ft rolls from Orwo
Even of the colour film?
Even of the colour film? I didn't know that.
yes, the Camera films in 35mm are generaly only stocked in 400ft and 1000ft, while the lab films tend to only come in 2000ft rolls.Although the camera films seem to be limited to 1000 foot lengths - $791.40 USD for 500T.

If you look at the cataloge, you will see many sizes listed as "Finish to order" which means they don't stock it, but will make it up as ordered, some of those sizes you have to order many thousands of feet to get them to make it.
I did recall seeing at least one of the colour camera films as being available on a 100ft daylight spool. for hand held 35mm movie cameras like an Eyemo.
